JURA

Spring is the perfect time to explore and immerse yourself in the nature of the Jura Mountains. The perfect season to enjoy the many waterfalls, which thanks to the melting ice are flowing freely. Neither too hot nor too cold, it is also the right time to hike or bike and enjoy the destination. Active or contemplative vacations: whatever your desires, they will all find their place in the Jura Mountains...

With gushing waterfalls and wide open spaces, the Jura Mountains have many assets for a sporty or contemplative stay in spring. Hiking, trail riding, biking, you can conquer these unique landscapes for a stay in the open air. It is even possible to spend a night close to nature, in a bivouac or in an eco-friendly accommodation.

For the slow life enthusiasts, you can let yourself be carried away by the meetings with the inhabitants of the region and the local craftsmen who share their mountain secrets during a visit! Because the Jura Mountains are also a territory where know-how and crafts are intertwined: watchmaking, cheese making such as the famous Comté, wines of character and absinthe, wooden toys... an opportunity to learn and enrich yourself thanks to this unique gastronomic and cultural heritage.

And for a smooth visit, the Hirondelles line, one of the most beautiful railway lines in France, crosses the Jura from Dole to Saint-Claude! Another way to explore the destination by promoting soft mobility. 

Are you going with your family? The Jura Mountains have a lot to offer: hiking with donkeys, adventure courses, walking and biking along the lakes or on the ridges with a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc, summer sledding, zip line, via ferrata, canoeing and kayaking, or even a visit to the Polar Park, to discover the animals of the great cold and the mountains... Everything you need for an unforgettable spring vacation.

Located at 2h30 from Paris and 3h30 from Strasbourg, the Jura Mountains promise you small and big explorations!
